About this property
Bwthyn Llechi (Slate Cottage)
A beautifully presented three-bedroom cottage in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd famous for its stunning mountain ranges and beautifully valleys. Bwthyn Llechi (Slate Cottage) welcomes up to six guests, ideal for families and friends looking for a peaceful getaway in a delightful rural location in Wales.
Packed full of character and luxury throughout the traditional stone fronted Welsh cottage has been lovingly renovated whilst retaining its characterful features. With easy access to Snowdonia National Park for those with walking boots ready for an adventure in nature!
On the ground floor you are welcomed into the lounge/diner with a gas fire, perfect for relaxing on the sofa after a long day exploring, with Wi-Fi and smart TV included during your stay. The cottage boasts a fully equipped kitchen with all modern comforts, Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, washing machine, oven, fridge, and freezer, along with a ground floor bathroom including a shower over bath, WC and basin.
Upstairs you will find two double bedrooms, with a third bunk-bedroom. This home is ideally suited to up to four adults and two children.
Outside there is an enclosed rear garden with patio and furniture where you can enjoy a morning coffee before setting off for the day.
The old slate town of Blaenau Ffestiniog is home to a fantastic selection of shops, pubs and eateries and is within easy reach of Snowdonia National Park. There is a wealth of attractions and visitors can also enjoy a scenic ride on Ffestiniog mountain railway, which runs through Snowdonia National Park and up to the town of Porthmadog.
Since the road was built before cars were invented, parking outside Bwthyn Llechi can be tricky! However, there is a lit, free carpark less than 3 minutes’ walk away.
Please note the cottage has steep stairs with an extra step onto the landing and internal step down to the kitchen. Up to two well behaved dogs are welcome at Bwthyn Llechi.
This is a truly charming and tranquil property and provides a fantastic retreat from which you can explore this stunning area of North Wales.
**Please be aware the fireplace is decorative only and not currently in use
